Dreamers Often Lie by Jacqueline West

i was worried that this would end like romeo and juliet, with the whole ‘they both die in the end’ scenario. but i was pleasantly surprised.

DNF at 30%. i couldn’t bring myself to finish this book, it was too dull and i felt like the writing was all over the place.
Before We Go Extinct by Karen Rivers
5.0
okay, it’s been over a year since i read this book and i just realized i haven’t left a review. so, here it is:
i read this book while i was at my grandmothers cabin. i was reading in the car because it was raining, and i didn’t want to get my book wet. well, my tears completely drenched the fucking pages, so...that’s great (i bought another copy, ‘cause why not? ;)).
Before We Go Extinct tells the story of a teenager named JC or “sharky”, who’s best friend, The King, falls off a building, and—obviously—dies. JC becomes a mute, and his mother sends him to live with his estranged father. we follow his extremely difficult (and realistic) grieving process after he loses all of his friends, alive and dead.
originally, i thought this was just another cliché YA contemporary novel about grief, with an over abundance of romance—which has become very popular—but boy was i wrong. i was SO fucking wrong. Before We Go Extinct is definitely my favorite YA contemporary novel.
i highly recommend it!

Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky

i’m not a religious person and my relationship with god is non existent. i’m not usually into religious books either and i had no idea this was one, but for some reason, i really enjoyed it. it kind of gave me coraline vibes.
it did, however, drag on FOREVER. LIKE FUCK STEPHEN DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO STOPPPP
(i was sent an arc copy from grand central publishing in exchange for an honest review)

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
4.0
MY HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTTTTTTT WHAT THE FUCK
this was my update from yesterday:
Five years ago, when the movie came out and all my #tumblr obsessed 6th grade friends were wearing their “okay? okay?” crop tops, I literally wanted to die. I truly didn’t know what it was that made me feel this way—considering I love all john green books—but I just hated it. I decided I would NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER read this goddamn book. But here we are, and my now 16 year old self is LOVING it.
I just got to the part where Augustus confesses his love for Hazel and I’m dying with JOY not ANNOYANCE!!! Now that’s what I call progress.
IM ACTUALLY DYING NOW WHAT THE FUCKKK
